My Holiday Haul: How I’m Decorating For Christmas This Year

Decorating for the holidays… it’s sort of like the Super Bowl of interior design enthusiasts. Saying that I look forward to it every year would be the understatement of the century. And I know I’m not alone because the second Halloween was over it became Christmas! No, seriously. Two of my neighbors put up their Christmas lights, and so it’s officially Christmas in my neighborhood. Not even mad about it!

While decorating for the holidays can be enjoyable, it may also leave your wallet feeling a bit barren. I would know! I loaded up my online shopping cart the other night with the most beautiful Christmas selections for our home. When I saw the total came to over $400, I knew those items wouldn’t be leaving that cart! After all, it was all just decor! I hadn’t even purchased my tree yet!

It was at that point I decided to shop around a bit and look for other, more affordable options that would give my home the feel I’m looking for this Christmas. Here are the inspiration photos I used this year as a starting point for my purchases. As you can see, it’s a neutral color pallet that mixes dark and light tones, as well as painted and natural finishes. I can’t wait for all the products to arrive in the mail! It’s going to be like Christmas morning all throughout November! 🙂
